Practical Considerations for Choosing an Optical Probe Head
Optics- and light-based metrology tools are increasingly popular in quality control labs around the world because of key advantages over mechanical counterparts:
- Non-contact nature
- Reliability
- Maintenance-free operation
Because advanced optics and physics knowledge is needed to understand the capabilities and limitations of light-based metrology, tool selection can be a significant undertaking.
Understanding this complex decision-making, our team outlined top considerations for one important step during the purchasing process—the selection of the optical probe head.
